Winter Park Snowboard Team Full-Time

The WPST Full-Time program is designed for those athletes who have demonstrated a high level of dedication to snowboarding and competing in USASA competitions and who want to take their riding to the next level. Full-time athletes exhibit the drive and desire to pursue high level events such as the USSA Revolution Tour and USSA Grand Prix events, whether they are ready for these events immediately or have ambitions to compete in these events in the future. WPST coaches work with each rider to determine what events to attend based on ability, age, interest, goals, and maturity/sportsmanship.

During the winter season, full-time athletes ages 11-13 (middle school) are on-hill from 1-4pm on Tues/Thurs and are on-hill 9-3:30 F/Sa/Su, with supervised study/athletic science programs on Wednesdays. Full-time athletes ages 14+ (high school/post-grad) are on-hill 1-4pm T-W-Th and 9-3:30 on F/Sa/Sun. All Full-time athletes are expected to participate in camp, workshop and training opportunities provided through the Competition Center’s Athletic Science program during the season. Off-season activities (e.g. summer camp) are strongly encouraged but are not included in program cost (April 13-Oct. 31).

AGE/ABILITY EXPECTATIONS:

The full-time program is open to middle and high school students, as well as college-age athletes.

Full-time participants must be in 6th grade or higher to participate.

Must demonstrate proper stance and edging techniques on advanced terrain (all mountain and in the parks/pipe), riding both switch and regular.

Must have been competing in USASA events for at least one season.

Athletes interested in the full-time program must obtain approval from the program director and head coach. Contact WPST Director Nic Nagel for more information.

WPST Full-Time program fees covers all training days and includes coaching at all events. Competition-related expenses such as lodging, transportation, entry fees, and food are not included in the program fee. If needed, transportation and lodging are coordinated by the WPST Director; however, it is the responsibility of the athlete/athlete's family to register on-time for events and to plan for meals during training and events.
